The Congress party has called for ‘Bharat Bandh’ - a nationwide shutdown on Monday against the skyrocketing fuel prices and unprecedented fall of the Indian rupee against the US dollar due to “disastrous” economic policies of the Narendra Modi-led central government. The Opposition parties led by the Congress demand the Narendra Modi government at the Centre to bring petrol and diesel under the GST - a move that can reduce the fuel prices by Rs 15-18 per litre.
